Hello Friends,

We’re pleased to give you another update on our progress to get back to Argentina. The big event this week was the loading and shipping of our 20 ft. container to Argentina. We would like to thank those who helped support us with different donations and items which will bless the school in Cordoba. As Sonia and I purchased different items, we weren’t sure if everything would fit in. Thankfully, we were able to get it all in, though with very little space left. We would like to thank Living Hope Worship Center, Evangel Church and Nuco Title Insurance company for items that were donated to help our students. Thank you very much for blessing Argentina!

We will continue to be here in the US over the next few weeks before heading back to Argentina on August 14th. We appreciate your continued support and help.

Blessings,

Stephen

Hello once again!

If you’ve been following our posts and newsletters, then you’re aware that we’ll soon be back in Argentina, serving at the Bible school in the city of Córdoba. As we prepare for our return, our plans include shipping a 20’ container by ocean to Argentina. This larger capacity will make it possible for us to bring into the country items impossible to carry with us on the plane.

Because of this opportunity, we’d like share some of our pressing needs at the Bible school. Perhaps, you or your church might be able to donate items. Since we only have a couple weeks to make this happen, please get in touch with us ASAP by phone or email. The deadline for items will be Monday, July 20th.

Urgent Items Needed:

• Computers for the school library (Win/Mac, 1GHz or better)
• Used computer monitors in working condition (17” preferred)
• Any hand tools, lawn mowers or garden equipment would be extremely helpful as we have 9+ acres of land to maintain on campus.
• Digital camera for taking photographs on campus and for publications
• Bed sheets/blankets in good condition (Single, Twin or Queen)
• Personal toiletry items for our students (soap, shampoo, personal hygiene products, etc.)
• School supplies (pens, pencils, etc.)

Thank you so much!

Stephen

Hello Friends,

We’ve all seen it in movies and TV programs... the kids asking their parents “Are we there yet?” We feel that way sometimes with our Heavenly Father...”are we there yet?” Are we closer to getting our budget raised so we may continue serving in Argentina? The good news is yes, just about there!

As of the beginning of July, we are looking at about $100 more in monthly commitments in order to have a strong missions budget for our next 4 years of service in Argentina. If your church would like to partner with us and help make our return more speedily, please visit out “Support” page for more information.

We are awaiting final word from our organization for the “green light” to purchase our airline tickets and to finalize the planning for our return. At this moment, it seems that mid-August would be a good timeline for us to consider. If you haven’t read our most current newsletter, we’d invite you to do so. In it you’ll find lots of information about our current needs and adventures.

We’ll keep you posted!

Stephen
